No one can beat

the love of a father for his daughter.

Okay, go. Let's record this.

One, two, go.

Wow.

You want to record everything?

- Yes. - You're recording everything?

Okay.

I'll play your favourite song.

Okay.

All right. Okay.

One, two, three.

Okay. One more, yeah?

We're so happy.

Okay. One, two, three.

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.

Ashhadu an la ilaha ill all ah.

Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasulullah.

Hayya 'ala-s-Salah.

Hayya 'ala-l-Falah.

Qad qamatis Salah, Qad qamatis Salah.

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.

La ilaha ill all ah.

Peace be upon you, Babah's princess.

Can you turn down the radio? Turn it down.

Can you turn down the radio?

Can you please?

What did you say?

It's so loud!

Right?

Why didn't you tell me to turn it down? The baby…

I did tell you, actually.

Sorry. You didn't hear me, right?

- Is it okay now? - Yes, okay.

- Is the baby okay? - She's okay.

- Hey, Isyak. - Hmm?

Will you help me with the briefing tomorrow?

What time?

Eight thirty in the morning.

Why are you so sleepy?

You look horrible.

You were not the only one who went to bed late.

Look at me. Just fine.

I'm not like you.

Do you know,

I haven't been able to sleep well since we had Maya.

I wake up every two hours.

She needs to drink. She needs her pillow adjusted.

She gets restless.

I can't sleep if she's not comfortable.

But I'm okay. Just a little bit drowsy.

What's the matter?

Adam, Hayati texted me.

Maya's unwell.

Okay. But don't forget about tomorrow.

- I'll cover you. - Nice.

Okay. Thanks, Adam.

Okay.

Four hours of OT.

Okay, that will do.

Hey, Maya.

Her temperature is still high.

What should we do?

- Give her some more medicine? - No.

- Why not? - No.

We have to wait another two hours.

So what do we do?

I'm not sure.

Hey, can you go to the kitchen and get some tamarinds?

- Laksa Johor? - No.

Tamarinds.

In the kitchen?

Sweetheart, shh.

- Here, the tamarinds. - Good. Okay.

- Place them on her forehead? - No. Not like that.

Take it. You need…

Sorry. Go and fetch a bowl.

Get some water.

Fill the bowl with some water.

A bowl.

Where's the bowl?

Come on…

- Here. - Thanks, honey.

My poor girl. Why is she crying?

- Will this work? - Yes.

Shh.

We need to place it on her forehead.

Okay.

Okay.

Here.

- Place it on her forehead? - On Maya's forehead.

Like this?

Isyak.

Isyak?

Can't hear me, huh?

No wonder. He's not wearing that thing.

Isyak.

New watch, huh?

Of course. It's…

I've been eyeing it for so long.

I just got some money, so I went to buy it.

Take a look.

Wow!

Cartier, huh?

- You know its history? - No.

It was founded by Louis Cartier.

At that time, everyone had a pocket watch.

So, Cartier and his partner, Santos-Dumont, a pilot…

When he was flying, it was hard to reach the pocket watch.

So, they invented this wristwatch.

I didn't know that. I just thought it was nice

and good to wear, so I bought it.

- Yes, it's nice. - Right?

Imagine.

If they hadn't invented it, we might still be using pocket watches.

- That would be terrible. - Of course.

Come to think of it,

sometimes the smallest things that happen to other people

can have a big impact on our own lives.

You sure know a lot about watches, huh?

- You're really into it. - Yeah.

I am.

It's just that watches symbolise time.

Time symbolises success.

And it's time that creates great moments.

Like now.

Once it has passed, it will never come again.

So, we need to cherish every moment in life.

Why don't we have a great moment by going for a drink?

- That would be nice. - No can do.

It's time for me to be with my daughter.

I'm going to create some moments with my princess.

Let's dance.

Maya, you pooped?

What's her name?

Good girl.

Hold on.

You're Maya.

I'm Babah.

Babah.

- "Babah…" - You said "Babah"?

That was the first time Maya said "Babah".

That's it.

We're done.

Okay, we're done.

What's with that long face?

Let me take the hair clip.

Why are you taking it?

It was just for the picture.

You can't wear it to school.

You have to be neat.

Your hair needs to be tied.

Let me fix your hair.

Turn around.

Okay.

All right.

If we don't follow the rules, I will be scolded by your teachers.

- Can they scold you? - Of course.

Because the rules are important.

"Prawns"? What do you mean?

What? "Prawns"?

You said "prawns".

Not "prawns".

Rules.

If we break the rules, it's not only the teachers who will be mad.

We might be arrested by the police.

We must follow the rules, okay?

- Got it? - Gosh.

I don't like it.

It looks good, sweetheart.

It's neat that way.

You look like a princess.

One last check.

Okay, all good. Let's go downstairs.

I'm almost done with this.

Babah, when are you buying it?

What more do you need?

Babah promised to buy me a piano.

And?

I'll buy it later, sweetheart.

Today is your first day at school.

The teacher might say to you,

"Tell us about yourself."

What will you say?

I'll say this. Listen.

"My name is Maya binti Isyak."

"My father's name is Isyak."

"My mother's name is Hayati."

And?

What does your father do?

Is he a fisherman?

"My father is an architect."

"He goes to work

with a helmet and a big piece of paper,

"and he's good at drawing tall buildings."

How tall are the buildings that he draws?

This tall.

Wow! That's so tall.

That's not tall enough.

- Then? - More like…

- This tall! - Babah!

Mama, why are you covering my eyes?

Because we have a surprise for you.

Stop. Go down the stairs.

One more.

Last one.

Okay, go straight.

Stop.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

Babah!

Maya!

What is this?

- Thank you, Babah. - You're welcome, sweetheart.

- You like it? - Of course.

Let's play it together.

- Mama, sit down. - Okay.

Okay. One, two, go.

Hello. Hi.

Babah, Mama taught me to play the song "Happy Birthday".

You want to hear it?

- Sure. - Come.

- Okay, sit here. - Okay.

Here.

Wow!

- Teach me. - Okay.

First…

Once again.

That's enough, sweetheart.

Go and take a shower.

Do your homework and we'll perform the prayer together.

But I'm not done playing.

Play it after showering, okay?

Okay then.

Sweetheart, come here.

I love you.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I didn't expect this.

I've given everything to the company. My time, my effort.

I really thought I could go far with that company.

It's okay, honey.

No one can know the future.

But you know what?

This opportunity

is for you to try new things.

For us to grow.

Okay?

We start new.

I know that, but I have my concerns.

Maya's just started school.

We need money.

Where can I find a job at such short notice?

Don't think like that.

You shouldn't let yourself find this stressful.

You need to think positive.

You know I'm always with you, right?

Always?

Thank you, sweetheart.

And I'm sorry.

Why?

We're a team.

We'll work on this together.

You taught Maya this song?

Yes.

…day to you

Look.

Hello, Adam.

What's up?

How's your new job?

That's fine.

Can't you help me?

I'm hoping for the chance to go for an interview.

Right.

I understand. It's so hard nowadays.

I just went to another interview.

They said I was overqualified.

But I didn't think they were looking for someone.

Yes.

I've been to so many interviews.

I just haven't got the second call.

Tell me, Adam.

Currently,

are there architecture firms that would hire a draftsman?

The only projects out there are ongoing ones.

Should I start a business?

I don't have the guts, Adam.

Yes.

I know.

All right, let me know, yeah?

If there's an opening at your company,

please let me know, regardless of the job scope.

Okay.

All right. Bye.

- Sorry. - Yes. Sorry.

Have you found it?

- Isyak. - Hmm?

Have you found a job?

Not yet.

It's okay.

Nothing comes easily.

Everything happens for a reason.

Maybe a better path is waiting for you.

A better path, Uncle Lim?

I don't know. It's nowhere to be seen.

Isyak.

In this life,

nothing to regret.

One time you go up, one time you go down.

No such thing, when you go down,

you cannot go up again.

Just remember,

God answers you in three ways.

God says, "Yes…"

And gives you what you want.

God says, "No…"

And gives you something better.

Or…

Or?

Or God says, "Wait,"

and gives you the best.

Gives the best?

Gives the best, huh?

Gives the best.

Uncle Lim.

Uncle Lim, I need your help.

What is it?

I want to pawn this watch.

Isyak.

It's an expensive watch.

I'm not asking for much. I'll take whatever you're willing to pay.

I need some money.

Okay then.

But I want you to make me a promise.

You must buy it back later.

Uncle…

I have things that matter more than that watch.

Darling.

I bought some groceries.

That's a lot.

They will last us longer.

What are you doing?

Checking the bills. They're quite high.

Don't worry. I'll pay them tomorrow.

Maya went to bed already?

Yes.

Darling.

Have some of this.

Yes.

Is it fried noodles?

Yes, fried noodles. You're right.

Have some.

Okay.

How is it?

Just fine.

Darling.

You ordered this every day when you were pregnant.

Really?

I remember this one time.

At 2:30 in the morning,

you woke up and asked for Pak Abu's fried noodles.

Did you think his shop would still be open?

So, I went out to a Mamak stall

and bought these fried noodles for you.

You ate them.

- You didn't complain. - Really?

Since then, this has been it.

Pak Abu's fried noodles. I gave them to you every day.

This is it.

So, you've been lying to me?

It was a loving lie. Here, have some more.

What is this?

Who is it for?

Maya loves playing the piano, so I signed her up for a piano class.

She should learn it the proper way.

Right.

Where did you get the money?

I pawned my watch to Uncle Lim.

Darling.

It's just for now.

I'll buy it back once I have some extra money.

Darling.

Don't overthink it. It's okay.

I've got things under control.

I want some more.

Pak Abu's charm, huh?

Here.

Are you joining the class too?

Of course.

Your shirt's here.

The makeup's there.

Twenty minutes, yeah?

You, go now.

Should I do it here?

- Ten. There are ten. - So many.

It's so hot.

Boss, can I go home now?

Stay a bit longer.

Mama, where's Babah?

Why is he late?

Thanks.

Hayati.

Maya?

Maya.

- Hi, darling. - Babah.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to Maya Babah's princess

Happy birthday to you

- Thank you, Babah. - You're welcome, darling.

I'm sorry.

I didn't forget your birthday.

I was at work.

But I remembered.

Look.

Mr. Roger has a friend now. See?

- Hello! - Hello!

My name's Babah. What's your name?

My name's Maya.

- Really? Hi. - Hi.

- Is it your birthday? - Yes.

Add two first.

Two…

This is our daily routine.

Every morning, Maya will still be doing her homework.

Every day, Maya arrives at school late.

Go. Come on.

I've tried doing so many things to support my family.

I was so worried that I couldn't give the best for her future.

I believed

I could go further with the knowledge that I had.

So, I sacrificed some of my time with her.

The pivot point is here.

Time moved so fast

and left the shadows behind.

Maya, we've got to go.

- How is it? Is my tie okay? - It's okay.

Let's go.

Maya still had a long journey ahead.

I tried to give everything that Maya wanted.

I believe in Him who always provides.

- I can play with it soon. - Yes, Maya.

Okay, come and have a drink, darling.

Routine can sometimes make us unaware of time flying by.

When was the last time I held Maya in my arms?

Maya got better at playing the piano each day.

I hoped to see her on stage someday.

Mama!

If only I were able to freeze time

at this exact moment.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Where's Maya? It's late.

She's upstairs.

You know how she is.

She waits until the due date to start work,

and then does it all that day.

I reminded her every night to do her homework before going to bed

so that she wouldn't be overwhelmed.

You know, she needs to learn the importance of punctuality.

I always say, blessings come in the early morning.

- You have to wake up early. - You have to wake up early.

So that today will be way better

than yesterday.

Where's Maya?

Wait, sit down. Relax.

I think you need to get a new hearing aid.

- Why? - I'm concerned.

- About what? - You shouldn't be stressed.

When you're stressing out

and overthinking, do you know what you're doing?

- No. - You'll do this.

- Are you listening to me? - What?

- Can you hear me? - No.

- I'll say it louder. - Louder.

- I can't hear you. - Can you hear me?

Maya? Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you in pain?

Where do you feel sore?

Here? Let me see.

You know what?

It happened to me too

a long time ago.

Look at me now.

I'm fine, right?

What are you so worried about?

It'll be okay.

Hayati!

- Hayati! - Yes?

We're late.

Where's Maya?

She's not going to school.

She doesn't want to?

It's not that she doesn't want to.

She can't go to school.

Why not?

Our girl is becoming a teenager, honey.

- You mean…? - Yes.

- This? - Yes.

- Maya? - Yes.

That's why she's been acting weird.

You can tell?

Of course. I'm her mother.

Honey, our girl is growing up.

That means we're old now, darling.

Right?

Yes.

It's okay. We're together.

It's not okay. Before we know it, she'll be getting married.

- It's normal to get married. - No way.

- She will not get married. - Why?

No one can have our girl that easily.

Right.

Never mind. You should go.

They'll have to deal with me first.

- Yes. - Okay.

I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything.

- Okay? - Okay.

- Love you. - Love you too.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Uncle. - Yes?

Do you have any OAG CDs?

They're sold out.

Sold out…

- Babah. - Wow!

- Babah? - Maya!

Maya, come here!

Babah.

Don't yell. Fix that thing.

I was just there.

- Do you know him? - No.

You don't know this legend?

Remember his name. Sudirman.

He was the only singer in Malaysia

whose concert caused roads to be closed and who offered free entry.

Everyone could go.

- Really? - Yes. I went to the concert.

Try and make a guess.

How many people attended that concert?

Around 3,000?

Only 3,000?

I'll give you another try. It was more than that.

- Five thousand? - Almost 100,000, Maya.

That's the power of music.

It can gather so many people in one place.

But only one person was able to steal my heart.

Who was it?

Your Mama, Hayati.

I went to the concert with her.

- Is that so? - Yes.

One day, I hope to see you

perform in a concert like that.

Everyone will watch you playing the piano.

- The roads will be closed. - Gosh, Babah.

I'm not that good at playing the piano.

Why do you say that?

I believe in you.

Do you believe in yourself?

- Do you? I'll do it, yeah? - Babah, no.

Enough. Let's go.

Stop growing up so fast.

- It's you who's getting old. - Hey!

Maya.

Maya.

Why aren't you getting ready?

I'm not in the mood.

Get your stuff. I'll drive you.

I'm not

playing the piano anymore.

You've been doing it for so long.

I've only been doing it because of you.

You have to finish what you started.

You're so close to completing it.

I have loads of homework to be done.

- Come on. - That's just an excuse.

- I don't want to hear it. - You're always like this.

You never listen and you keep pressuring me.

I said I didn't want to go.

Okay, class. That's all for today.

Remember. Next week, there'll be an assessment.

So, do some revision.

Okay, that's all.

You may leave.

Ikmal!

Gosh! Don't yell to call your boyfriend.

- You startled me. - Sorry.

- Whatever. Bye. - Bye.

- Hi. - Hi.

- You're still here? - Yes. I'm waiting for Babah.

What time are we going online?

Gosh. Going online?

I'm playing football later.

Is that so?

What a bummer.

- Maya! - Then maybe we can…

Maya!

Maya!

Gosh, he's here.

Okay, Ikmal.

I'm leaving. Bye.

Later, yeah? Promise?

Text me. Bye.

Who's that?

No one.

Let's go.

Let's go!

- Hayati. - Yes?

Where's Maya?

She's upstairs.

She said not to let anyone come in.

Why?

I don't know.

So, about that thing…

You wanted to buy that rattan lamp.

- We can get it at… - Babah, Mama.

I'm leaving for the piano class.

Shaza's picking me up.

We have an exam today. Don't come too early.

I'll call you.

I'll come to pick you up.

Yeah.

- Bye. - You're leaving now?

Shake my hand before leaving.

Yeah.

No, no, no, Babah.

I've straightened my hair.

You always do that.

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye. Be safe.

All right.

- Take care. - Okay.

- What? - So…

What were we saying?

Okay. That's it.

Go back to your place.

Okay, next.

Go ahead.

Hayati, is Maya home?

Babah?

Babah.

Babah.

Babah!

Babah.

Babah!

Babah, please.

Please listen to what I have to say.

Maya, go upstairs and get changed.

I don't want to talk about it now.

No, you listen to me, Babah.

I've told you before, right?

I'm no longer interested.

I'm done playing the piano.

Babah! See?

You never listen to me.

You can't blame me.

Who should I blame then?

Myself?!

How many sessions have you skipped?

You tell me now!

Babah.

It's not a big deal.

Not a big deal, you say?

I have so many commitments as a student.

I have homework.

I have exams.

I'm exhausted, Babah.

It's unacceptable that you lied to me!

Yes, I lied to you, and I'm sorry, okay?

Today…

All my friends are going to a concert.

I wish I could go too.

I'd be excited to go to a concert.

But did I tell you?

No, I didn't even tell you.

Because I knew you would never let me go.

Yes, because I know what's good and what's bad.

I just want the best for you!

And that's you, Babah!

Have you ever asked me what I want?

Have you ever asked me what I like?

What songs do I prefer?

There! The poster in my room.

Have you ever asked about it?

No! You never ask me anything!

You want me to keep playing the piano?

Fine!

Fine!

I can keep playing it!

Please, Babah.

Why aren't you like other dads?

BABAH, I'M LEAVING THE OFFICE

BUT I'M GOING FOR A DRINK WITH MY FRIENDS

I'll BE HOME LATE

WHICH FRIENDS?

SHAZA, ALIA, AND REDZA

I WON'T BE EATING DINNER AT HOME

OKAY. I'll LET MAMA KNOW THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO COOK

DON'T COME HOME LATE I LOVE YOU

Hi. Yes. Okay.

- One spring chicken. - Okay.

I want another one, the same thing.

- Takeaway. - Okay.

For the takeaway order,

you don't have to prepare it too early.

And a bottle of water.

- Okay. That's all? - Thank you.

That's all.

Babe, you just got here. Are you going back already?

You know my Babah, right?

It's a trick for me to go home early.

Thank God my dad isn't as creative as your Babah.

So what's the interesting case that you're handling now?

Nothing much. I'm doing lots of commercials.

- Okay. - Just regular things.

Merger between two companies.

And I have to do…

lots of research.

- Okay. - Negotiations.

Drafting contracts et cetera.

I see.

- Scary. - Yeah.

Hold on. So, you have a lot of inside information?

Company mergers that are preparing to enter IPO.

- Uh-huh. - Tell me about it.

- Oh, no! - Come on!

- I want to buy stocks. - No. I know.

It's P&C, okay? No.

Come on.

There he goes, talking about stocks.

By the way, Maya,

why don't you go jogging with us tomorrow?

No can do.

My goodness. Why?

I don't want to.

- Come on. - No.

- Shaza, are you going? - No, this is more important.

And I have plans tomorrow.

Sorry, it's a no.

What a shame, Maya.

You'll be missing out…

Something is fishy here.

No. That's not it.

- Nothing. - Are you setting me up?

I promise you will like it.

Come tomorrow.

I smell something fishy.

Okay, okay.

- Okay, I'll come. - Yes!

But I'll leave early if I feel bored, okay?

- Okay, deal. - All right. Okay.

- Deal? - Deal.

Okay.

- Done. - Can you trust them?

No, I've never trusted them, not even in my school days.

I'll never trust them.

Peace be upon you.

Sorry.

You haven't gone to sleep?

I'm hungry. I was waiting to eat dinner with you.

I'm sorry, Babah. Have a seat.

Wait here. I'll get your dinner.

How was work today?

Okay. I'm a little bit tired. I was busy.

If you're tired, you should go to bed.

It's okay.

I'll keep you company.

Okay.

Have you eaten?

Yes.

Sorry, guys. I'm late.

Maya.

Surprise!

We'll start running and we'll let you guys catch up.

Just catch up.

Don't do anything else. Don't take too long.

- You set it up? - Yes.

- Hi. - Hi.

Fifteen minutes late.

You're still the same.

You never change, huh?

Well…

I'm 15 minutes late,

but I run fast.

Do you want to bet?

Okay. Game on.

Okay. On the count of three…

- Two, one! - Hey!

You're cheating!

Come on!

Are you tired?

I thought you weren't going to stop.

I'm sorry. I lied to you.

I actually don't like running.

But you're not fit either.

It's been a while since I last exercised.

- I see. - Yeah.

I spend my working day dealing with simulators.

What do you do?

- Me? - Yes.

I'm a simulator engineer.

Oh, an engineer.

So what's your job scope?

Basically, my job is…

To develop simulation aircraft…

- All right. - And…

I'm out of breath.

I need to conduct a test on the simulation program

and figure out how to manoeuvre the aircraft

so that it can fly autonomously.

Right.

Okay. So you can fly one?

Of course

I cannot.

But I can fly one if you want.

Oh, no, it's okay.

So where are you working?

I'm with an international company.

But for now, they're based in Malaysia, so yeah.

I'm working here.

Enough about me. How about you?

Me?

I just completed my chambering

last August,

and now I am working in a law firm.

I know that face.

Why?

Sorry, I didn't expect that.

Oh, it seems like someone had different expectations for my future.

No.

Nah…

When we were in school,

you were so into arts.

Right.

So, I thought you might become an actress or…

You play piano, right?

You love playing it, right? Maybe a musician.

No.

Wrong guess.

Maya!

Please tell him.

Me? You should tell him yourself.

You're the one getting married, right? Go.

Babah, that day…

Ikmal…

I don't like this one.

Omega.

Babah.

Do you still remember Ikmal?

He was my school friend.

Remember?

Which one?

You forgot.

Wait.

He just came back from the UK.

Babah.

That day…

I…

I met him here.

That's it?

Look at me.

"Babah, I want to get married."

See?

Easy-peasy.

- Babah, I want to get married. - Yes.

Like that.

Babah.

That day…

Ikmal and me…

Went out for a jog with our friends.

Babah…

Next week,

- Ikmal, he… - Here, sir.

Thank you.

He wants to go out with me.

Can I go?

Where's Mama?

I don't know.

Tell him what Ikmal does for a living.

Right.

Go.

Babah.

You know what?

Ikmal works as a senior engineer.

He's the youngest employee in the company.

Yes.

I'll pay.

Yes. I'll pay, okay?

- I'll pay. - Really?

- Okay. I'll push the cart. - Sure.

Did you know?

I didn't.

Seriously, I didn't know.

Okay, done.

Go straight? Oh, here.

I don't need the receipt.

All good?

My bread.

Babah.

I'm thinking of bringing him

to meet both of you.

We'll have a meal with him at home, okay?

Okay?

Is he your boyfriend?

No. We're just friends.

Maya wants us to meet her friend.

So?

Give her a chance.

She's all grown up.

Yes or no?

It's a no then.

Sure, but what about her future?

Thank you.

Come sit with me.

You know, right?

I love you, always.

No one can replace you.

You're my only Babah.

And I know…

That you love me so much.

Right?

Trust me.

I'm sure you'll like Ikmal.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Please come in.

Oh, yes. It's okay.

You can park here. No worries.

Okay.

Okay.

- This is my Babah. - Uncle.

Peace be upon you.

Come, I want you to meet my Mama.

Okay.

- Mama. - Maya.

Ikmal.

- This is him? - Aunty.

- Peace be upon you. - And upon you be peace.

- Please sit. - Okay.

- Ikmal. - Yes?

- That's my Babah's seat. - His…

- Okay. - Sit there.

Sorry.

It's okay.

We finally meet.

I've been hearing a lot about you from Maya.

Uncle, thank you so much, Aunty, for inviting me.

It's nice to meet both of you here.

He said, "Thank you for inviting."

You're welcome.

No.

- You're welcome. - Oh, I thought…

Uncle, I'm sorry.

You're welcome.

Please eat. Help yourself.

Was it easy finding your way to this house?

Many people have trouble finding it.

Yes.

Since when have you known Maya?

Sorry, he was asking,

"How did you come to know Maya?"

"When did you two meet?"

All that.

Okay. A long time ago. Since we were in school.

But right after leaving school,

I moved to the UK with my family.

Please.

Is it true

that you have relocated?

You're not going back to the UK?

You told me, right?

- You're staying here, right? - Yes, I'm staying.

I'm staying here.

But if there's a new station,

the company will assign staff to handle operations there.

Maya recently graduated.

She'll be busy working.

Okay. Listen.

That's his usual face. He's not angry.

Maya's just finished her chambering, so she'll be busy with work soon.

But only if you don't mind. That's why he asked.

Yes, when Maya told me that she was a lawyer,

I was surprised.

I don't mind.

But if you get married to a lawyer,

every time there's an argument…

"Here, I've filed a lawsuit."

You're so funny, Ikmal.

Here.

HE MADE A JOKE YOU SHOULD LAUGH

You made a joke, huh?

It's spicy.

- Asam pedas. - Yes, asam pedas.

Let's eat.

By the way, is your family still there?

Are you here alone?

Or not?

SPICY FOOD? BABAH, DID YOU SAY SOMETHING TO MAMA? IKMAL DOESN'T EAT SPICY FOOD.

- Yes. - Is it spicy?

No, it's not.

Yes, they're still in the UK because my dad works there.

And…

I guess once he retires, they'll move back here.

- Is that so? - Yes.

His family lives far away. They're in the UK.

He's alone here. Poor boy.

Do you eat burgers?

Yes, I do.

Why do you like Maya?

He wants to know,

"Why do you like Maya?"

There must be something.

Just tell us.

Is it because she's pretty? Or is it because she's bright?

- Toilet. - Again?

I need to use the toilet.

Maya, show him the way.

- Let's go. - Aunty, sorry.

It's okay.

Come on. Let's go.

What are you doing?

What's your problem?

I was just messing around.

- Ikmal, here. - Yes.

It's coffee.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I'll be in the kitchen.

I want to help Mama with the dishes.

Stay here.

All good?

Yeah.

YOU HAVE A WATCH SHOP, RIGHT?

YES, I'M A WATCH ENTHUSIAST.

SORRY FOR ASKING, BUT SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU LOST YOUR HEARING?

IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

I USED TO WEAR A HEARING AID.

12 YEARS AGO I BECAME TOTALLY DEAF.

I HAVE AUNTY AND MAYA TO BE MY EARS.

PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.

GOD WILLING, I'll GIVE MY BLESSING.

PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.

GOD WILLING, I'll GIVE MY BLESSING.

GOD WILLING.

God willing.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Where are we going?

It's a secret.

Come on. It's starting.

- Maya… - Sorry.

- Maya… - Hold on.

- Maya. - Yes. One moment.

Oh my God. My favourite song.

Okay.

You have to listen

and understand the lyrics.

- Maya. - Yes?

I have something to tell you.

Sure, tell me. I'm listening.

I…

I like you.

I…

I've liked you since we were in school.

When I came back…

And met you again…

To be honest,

every day I'm thinking about you.

I think I'm in love…

With you.

Okay. You're so funny.

You're so sweet.

I…

I actually feel comfortable when I'm around you.

I can be myself…

And you accept me for who I am.

I think I'm in love with you too.

Who is he?

- You don't know him? - No.

That's Noh Salleh.

Noh who?

Noh Salleh. The best rock star ever.

All right. Thank you. Stay safe.

- Come. Hello. - Hi.

- Hello. Hi. - Let's take a selfie.

Thank you for coming.

- Ready. - Okay, ready.

One, two…

- Bye. See you. - Okay.

- See you. - Take care.

- Thank you. - Come.

- Maya. - Yes?

Want to go for a drink?

I don't think so. So sorry, it's just…

I gave my word to Babah that I wouldn't come home late.

No worries. It's okay.

Maya.

One moment.

You know what? I…

Am jealous…

Because you and your Babah are so close.

I wish my parents were like yours.

I don't know…

What it feels like.

My parents are busy with work.

All the time.

And I don't think…

I have any sweet memories with them.

You know what?

When I was

17 years old,

I had a big fight with Babah.

Okay.

You know,

he was too controlling.

He didn't even care about what I wanted.

It was too stifling.

So, I became rebellious.

But…

I didn't know at that time that stress…

Could make him…

lose his hearing.

He's deaf because of me.

I'm sorry about that.

And I don't think you should blame yourself.

The last thing I said before he lost his hearing…

"Why aren't you like other dads?"

The guilt…

Until now…

Has been eating me up.

That's why I'm willing to do anything for my Babah.

All I want is to communicate with him again.

So, yes.

That's one of the "sweet" memories that we have.

We should go. Everyone has left.

Yeah. Let's go.

"I give you the hand of my daughter in marriage…"

Maya binti Isyak

with the mahr of

"five hundred ringgit in cash."

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

I accept her hand in marriage…

Maya…

M-A-Y-A…

Binti…

Isyak…

I-S-Y-A-K,

with…

The mahr of

five hundred ringgit…

In cash.

- Acceptable? - Yes.

- Acceptable? - Yes.

Praise be to God.

A'udhu bill a hi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.

Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin.

Wassalatu wassalam 'ala Sayyidina Muhammadin ashrafi al-mursalin.

Wa 'ala alihi wa sahbihi…

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Okay.

Peace be upon everyone.

- Mama? - Yes?

Babah.

It's for you.

Okay.

First of all,

on my own behalf and also on behalf of my husband,

Ikmal,

I would like to say thank you so much

for coming to our wedding tonight.

We very much appreciate it

and actually…

I have a surprise for you, Babah.

Babah…

I hope

you will like this.

Thank you.

Babah…

YOU WERE THE FIRST MAN IN MY LIFE

THE BEST BABAH IN THE WORLD

BUT I'M NOT THE BEST DAUGHTER

I ALWAYS HURT YOUR FEELINGS

BUT YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BY MY SIDE

ALTHOUGH WE SPEAK AND LISTEN IN DIFFERENT WAYS

YOU ALWAYS UNDERSTAND ALL MY JOY AND SORROW

THANK YOU FOR BEING MY BEST FRIEND

I WILL ALWAYS BE BABAH'S PRINCESS

FOREVER

Thank you, Maya.

I love you so much.

You're Babah's princess. Forever.

You're welcome.

- Thank you, darling. - You're welcome.

Let's eat.

How was it at the clinic?

It's sour.

Right?

Only a little bit.

Babah!

Mama asked you something.

How was it at the clinic?

Okay. Praise be to God.

Maya's okay, and the baby's okay.

But for the morning sickness, the doctor advised her to drink plenty of water.

To prevent dehydration.

That's true.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Don't worry.

- Mama. - Yes?

Babah.

I have some good news to share.

He has something to say.

Last month,

I applied for a posting in Nepal.

Last month, he applied to work in Nepal.

The company has chosen me to operate the new station

- as a team leader. - He'll manage the new station.

Ikmal will be the team leader.

Congratulations.

Babah, Ikmal will have his own team.

- But… - But what?

I need your permission

to bring Maya along

and move there after her postpartum confinement.

To Nepal?

Yes.

But…

But…

I'll be going there first…

To find a house for us.

Only then will we move there.

Only then will we move.

Did you know about this?

No, but I'm okay. Are you okay?

What about your work?

I'm thinking of quitting.

I want to focus on taking care of my baby.

Then, I'll figure out what to do, okay?

- He said okay. - Okay?

- What a relief. - Were you nervous?

I was nervous.

Babah.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Okay. - It's sour.

We've been waiting for so long.

Be patient.

I can't wait to meet our grandchild.

I know it's gonna be hard for you.

But from now on, my good advice is that you need to think about

and plan for your life.

Especially with your newborn baby.

It will take some time for her to recover from the infection.

I'm so sorry for you.

Ikmal.

Is everything okay?

Is the baby okay?

What happened?

The doctor told me that

Maya's suffering from Guillain-Barré syndrome

due to giving birth.

Her immune system was weak at that time.

Her antibodies attacked her nerves.

How is the baby?

Okay.

But she had to be warded

due to yellow fever.

Tell me.

You said Maya's paralysed, right?

How bad is it?

Mama…

Maya's paralysed from her neck down.

Right now, she can't breathe on her own.

She needs a breathing tube.

I'm sorry.

I've made up my mind.

I'll quit working.

- No. - Mama…

We don't even know

when she will recover.

Maybe a year, maybe more.

You should think positive.

We'll figure out

how to deal with this.

Mama, what are we figuring out?

I already accepted the new post.

I'm supposed to leave in two or three days.

It's okay.

We can take care of them.

Babah will take care of Maya.

I'll take care of Kis.

And you should go to work.

Mama.

Maya…

Is my responsibility.

I promised Babah and you that I'd take care of her.

Ikmal,

she's our responsibility too.

Even if I leave for the job, do you think my heart will be at ease?

What if something were to happen to Maya?

Calm down.

Please don't overthink it.

Just think about Maya.

I have no clue what you guys are talking about.

Why couldn't we bring the baby home?

I know.

IKMAL WANTS TO QUIT HIS JOB TO TAKE CARE OF MAYA…

WE KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN HARDSHIP.

I CAN HELP YOU.

BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION THAT'S GOOD FOR ALL OF US.

Babah…

I'm…

Really concerned…

About Maya.

Me too.

I can take care of her.

You don't have to worry.

Just focus on your work.

Let me focus on Maya.

- Babah! - Maya!

Babah!

Babah!

Why aren't you like other dads?

My love.

Thank you so much for everything.

I really hope…

You'll get to meet our daughter.

She looks just like you.

Her nose.

She's as pretty as you are.

Please.

Please, darling.

Wake up.

I know you're strong.

I know you can get through this. Please, darling. Wake up.

Everyone needs you.

Our daughter needs you.

Babah needs you.

Mama needs you.

And I need you.

I'm really sorry.

I have to break my promise.

I won't be able to take care of you while you're sick.

But I hope you will understand my decision.

Maya's life was supposed to be complete now.

But a tragedy struck when she was 29 years old.

Everything that she had built

was gone.

She was paralysed from the neck down

and treated in the ICU.

She was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome,

a rare autoimmune disease.

I'll take care of you.

On Day 10 in the hospital,

she was still relying on the ventilator to breathe.

Since she wasn't able to move her body…

An ergo lift was used to lift her up

and help her sit on the chair every day.

Maya couldn't speak or use sign language.

We communicated by using a writing board.

Kis was a month old at that time.

Every day, she came to visit her Mama…

But Maya still wasn't able to play with her

or take care of her.

Maya was fighting for her life every single day.

Even though she was in pain…

She kept trying to communicate with her daughter.

She kept trying to play with Kis every day.

On Day 70,

Maya no longer needed to use the ventilator,

and she was discharged from the ICU.

After three months…

Maya was finally able to talk to Kis.

Maya could sit in a wheelchair.

She became better each day.

Maya started physiotherapy on Day 78.

…two, three.

On Day 87…

For the first time,

Maya managed to stand up on her own.

She worked really hard

to get back to living a normal life.

To be a mother and a wife to her family.

Eventually, she became strong enough to hold and feed Kis for the first time.

- One, two, three. - Maya's legs became stronger.

- Go. - She was now able

to pedal and stand up.

On Day 94…

After a long time,

Maya could finally walk,

and she started using a walker to walk.

She trained

to walk

every day.

As each day went by,

her legs became stronger and more able to walk,

and at last…

She could walk on her own with the help of a walker.

On Day 126…

Maya was allowed to go home.

Kis was five months old.

Maya spent ten weeks in the ICU

and nine weeks in the ward,

where she had to learn again

how to comb her hair,

brush her teeth,

eat, write,

and walk.

Are you okay?

Babah.

Do you remember?

A long time ago,

you and I had a fight.

Which fight?

I lied to you.

I didn't attend the piano class.

You're deaf…

Because of me.

Yes.

But you've never even once been mad at me.

Why?

I was also to blame.

I didn't realize that you had grown up.

I was being selfish, and I'm sorry for that.

I want you to hear

my voice saying, "No one…

Can replace you."

"You're my only Babah."

I miss…

Having you listen to me playing the piano.

I can hear but not with my ears.

I can feel it.

I want you to play a song for me.

What song?

The one I loved.

Okay.

Peace be upon you.

And upon you be peace.

Darling.

Sorry.

- Kis. - Kis.

Kis.

If I have the chance, I'll greet

-That sweet smile of yours -Wait, Babah. I'm tired.

If I have the chance, I'll adorn

Your life with the love I've sworn

It's all right

I believe

I will surely return to you

It's not as easy

As you think

Let me endure this torment Waiting on the brink

Yay!

We've reached the top.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Such a show-off.

You need to take care of your health.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Babah.

Your favourite watch.

Babah.

I know…

You sacrificed so many things for me.

You've been taking care of me.

You raised me well.

You did everything.

There's nothing

I can give…

To pay you back.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I have you.

I have Mama.

One day, when I'm gone, I'll rest in peace.

I love you.

I love Mama.

I wish this would stay forever.

Babah, don't cry.

- Really? - Yes.

I wish this moment would stay forever, Babah.

In light of the Movement Control Order that has been in effect since yesterday…

Everyone is advised to stay at home at all times.

The police are committed to monitoring the MCO to ensure…

The army will assist the police…

There have been some reports of civilians…

The current state of the COVID-19 outbreak has caused real concern

not only in Malaysia,

but everywhere around the world.

As of now…

The doctor says her oxygen levels are low.

She will be intubated.

This is our last hope.

Don't look sad in front of her.

Don't cry.

Hi.

Peace be upon you.

Darling, don't worry, okay?

Everything's gonna be just…

Fine.

Maya.

Maya.

Babah's princess.

Always.

Wait for me.

Okay?

Why does God hide what lies ahead?

Because He wants us to always have good expectations…

And strive to achieve the best.

I thought it was Maya who was going to lose me.

But God…

Has written the opposite in our destiny.

"However, I'm grateful."

"I got to see her grow up,

get married,

"and I got to take care of her when she was sick."

"Maya."

"You will always be Babah's princess."

The end.

Kis, it's time to go.

Okay, Babah.

Princess.

- Thank you, Babah. - Welcome, darling.

Mama!

No, no, no.

Ready?

Thank you, Babah.

Only the sound of your breath remains

As I strive to complete this song

Home, a place of shelter

Until time makes us frail

Just you and me

I yield you to the call of the eternal

Though the pain is tearing me apart

Like grasping burning embers

Till I can barely bear it

I yield you to the call of the eternal

This is God's secret

The future is written

Can we shape our precious moments?

When doubt begins to creep in

Of what destiny holds for me

The burden grows heavier

As daylight breaks

I yield you to the call of the eternal

Though the pain is tearing me apart

Like grasping burning embers

Till I can barely bear it

I yield you to the call of the eternal

This is God's secret

The future is written

Can we shape our precious moments?

When doubt begins to creep in

Of what destiny holds for me

The burden grows heavier

As daylight breaks
